Configuring Arrays on HP Smart Array Controllers Reference Guide

HP Array Configuration Utility 29
For certain tasks, the controller must have SAAP activated by a registered license key. For more information,
see "About SAAP (on page 8)."
When a controller or device is selected, the tasks that appear are a subset of the total number of possible
tasks for the selected item. ACU lists or omits tasks based on the controller model and configuration. For
example, if the selected controller has no unassigned physical drives, Create Array is not an available task.
The following table lists all the possible tasks for every type of item.
